I bought mine in 1978 at the Kadena AFB BX and luckily still own it, great watch. Nice pic!

I purchased a pre-owned White Explorer II and sold it after a year because one of my colleagues wanted to pay $150 more than I had paid for it. I regretted it after only 2 weeks - so I had to go out and buy another White Explorer II - same age. And of course I ended up paying almost $300 more for it. I ended up with the same type of watch, but it taught me two lessons:

- Don't part with a watch unless you are 100% you can live without it
- Don't sell it because you can make a little money on it - I ended up loosing $150 on my stupid mistake

Weppp tell me about it.
I had 6 of them as soon as I learned about the 3186... then I started selling them one after the other... and now it's time to

criggs19 · 30 January 2010, 11:16 AM

Just sold this one, got an offer I couldn't refuse but I sure miss it. Someone here on TRF had one like it for sale but I think he was a scammer and disappeared after I started asking questions. He hasn't signed on since. I'd love to find another one.

JimC · 30 January 2010, 01:09 PM

Reading all the tales, I sure am glad I've not gotten rid of any...

kgglonghorn · 30 January 2010, 01:17 PM

Does it count if I regret "getting ready to sell one?" I am getting ready to "trade up" my SS DJ for a WG DD. Definitely a step in the right direction, but I am sure going to miss the DJ... she was my first.

I even called the dealer back last month to see if he still had it, but it had been sold.

acce1999 · 31 January 2010, 01:00 AM

No regrets on selling, so far, but a few regrets of not buying... a 5513 for 2000 dollars a couple of years ago, a 1675 at the same price, a 1016 (last version, brand new in 1990), a 5508 offered for ca 3000 dollars ten years ago...

Art 1 · 31 January 2010, 01:01 AM

My LV Sub. I miss it.

Psmith · 31 January 2010, 01:03 AM

All of them

Oh well...

Look at the bright side, it has a good home. Never a wrong time to be generous.

This one, I sold it way too quickly:

But I now have this which more than makes up for the loss!

Bisquitlips · 1 February 2010, 07:06 AM

No regrets! But haven't sold but one yet.

I learned it brought you bad luck JJ..not sure why you regret you sold it...
I know I know it was the watch and not the Model...
I hope you will replace it soon.

Lowflight · 1 February 2010, 09:03 AM

Looking hard for another one of these...

joeychitwood · 1 February 2010, 09:26 AM

I will never again try to trade any of my watches. I attempted a trade and immediately regretted it. Fortunately, I was able to get my two watches back. They each have a story, and any future and present Rolexes will be passed on to future sons-in-law and grandchildren. (Obviously, I'll have to buy enough over the years to make sure everyone gets one.)
